Posted - Jan 09 2012 : 3:11:35 PM Hi Farmgirls!

MMMmmmm, mmmm. I am making one of my favorite meals for my dd and dh tonight. Homemade Texas chili, served with fresh buttermilk cornbread baking in my cast iron skillet. Will top the chili off with cheese and sour cream, and wash it all down with fresh-brewed ice tea! It's a chilly night out, so it's a "chili" night in! Wishing I had a kitchen-full of farmgirls to share it with!

Posted - Sep 04 2019 : 06:08:12 AM My chicken breasts turned out delish! They made a ton! The next night, we had the rest of them, and I made home fries in the skillet from the leftover potatoes. On the side, homemade pancakes with decaf coffee. MMMMMMM good!

Last night, I made boneless ribs on the grill with a side of homemade pasta salad, made with mayo, dill, homemade pickles, carrots, and tomatoes from the garden. It was Heavenly!

Posted - Aug 30 2019 : 2:08:02 PM Tonight we are having a new recipe: Garlic Honey Chicken breasts. Looks good, made in the skillet. On the side, blue potatoes roasted in the oven, a fresh green salad with blueberry basil dressing, and for dessert, berry cobbler.

Posted - Aug 30 2019 : 07:29:26 AM Corn, corn, and more corn is what we have been eating. I can never get enough of fresh corn. So far just one racoon here and he hasn't been in the corn. We are stuffing it full of cat food each night---letting it have all it wants. Hopefully it will stay out of the patch until I can get it in the freezer.

Posted - Aug 27 2019 : 12:15:45 PM Nicole your dinners sound so yummy. I haven't had taboule in years. Will have to make it soon.

Nibbling my way through the day. Not in the mood to cook. Did finish putting up pear butter this morning so it'll be on the menu later in the week.

Posted - Aug 27 2019 : 11:17:38 AM Last night, I made chicken breast sautéed in olive oil with veggie broth and white wine, with capers. On the side was taboule salad. We have not eaten that in so long! I make mine with fresh cucumber and tomatoes from the garden, with lemon juice and fresh mint. Ate the rest for lunch, got in trouble with dd since I did not leave her any, (giggle). Baked homemade chocolate chip cookies with dark choc chips for dessert, left her some of those so I am redeemed.

Tonight I am making beef stew. It is a bit grey with a chill to the air.

Posted - Aug 21 2019 : 06:42:31 AM I'm making bean soup today. My sister gave me a hambone so I made broth the other day. I'll use part of the broth and add a pint of one of my home canned dried beans; potatoes; onions; can tomatoes; and herbs. Will freeze rest of the broth in ice cube trays. Will be good & handy to season vegetables and soups.

Posted - Aug 17 2019 : 02:18:03 AM Nancy---glad you want to learn to cook. The coleslaw sounds good. Do you mean one and a half teaspoons of vinegar or tablespoons? I never thought of using honey. My husband likes about everything I cook. So I am lucky. Not cooking nothing fancy these days---just simple summer food.

Posted - Aug 16 2019 : 6:02:09 PM Hey everyone,I promised Hubby I would learn to cook once I retired. Like any resolution I haven't kept up. Tonight however I made panko dijon salmon in my toaster oven. I also been experimenting on Hubby with coleslaw recipes. I made a batch earlier this week. It was very tart and I loved it. Hubby not so much. Tonight I made a batch similar to KFC. We also had steamed string beans and Texas toast. Didn't realize how easy coleslaw is to make. The sauce was 1/2 cup mayo, 1 1/2 of ACV and of honey, celery salt to taste.

Posted - Jul 24 2019 : 07:54:18 AM Oh my goodness Dawn! I make a dressing just like that. But haven't done with zest, will try that too. So good. Even without the mayo and a touch of salt or parm.I have a new favorite dressing that I got from Darci Isabella (youtuber, minimalist mother of 10; I love her channel; I have never seen young kids get so excited by raw veggies)It is:1 clove garlic1 cup yogurt1 t salt (I use about 1/2)4 oz asiago cheese1/2 cup olive oil1 t turmericpinch cayennehandful of fresh parsleyBuzz in blender. It is addicting

Posted - Jul 24 2019 : 07:36:14 AM Sara, the tomatoes were delicious, I used a combination of heirloom and cherry ones. Lisa the recipe was simple and I whipped it up in the morning to give the flavors time to meld. We only eat homemade dressings, the bottled kind don't taste as well and actually bother me. Hope you try this one soon.

Whisk together lemon zest and juice, garlic, and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper toss with romaine salad wedges.

Posted - Jul 23 2019 : 6:55:08 PM My youngest son loves Sloppy Joe sandwiches and I made him some tonight. I haven't made them for him for such a long time and when I was going through my recipe book I came across the recipe and I had written Joe loves this at the top of the page. He was so happy I made them for him. I made potato salad to go with it and cut up some watermelon. Yummy.

Posted - Jul 23 2019 : 08:02:20 AM Oh, Dawn it all sounds soooo good. Would love to have some of your tomatoes with feta cheese with my lunch.

Posted - Jul 23 2019 : 07:06:04 AM Last night was my middle son's birthday, so I made us a big dinner. I used Martha Stewart's new "Grilling" cookbook and grilled up steaks, onions, potatoes, and a romaine salad with her homemade dressing that was delicious! I also made blistered heirloom tomatoes with broiled feta cheese on top and served it with a middle eastern flatbread. Finally we had a KY brown butter cake with strawberries and blueberries tossed with honey & lemon and I whipped up some heavy cream to go with it. Oh yum and boy was I ever tired when we were done eating!

Keep creating!
